Description

Please answer these questions before submitting your issue. Thanks!

### What version of pprof are you using?
Not able to find the version. How do I find one? I used `go get github.com/google/prof` to download the pprof.

### If you are using pprof via `go tool pprof`, what's your `go env` output?
### If you run pprof from GitHub, what's the Git revision?
`git log -1` produces the below output
```

Enable MacOS binutils test. (#322)

```

### What operating system and processor architecture are you using?
macOS High Sierra version 10.13.1 (2.9 GHz Intel Core i5)

### What did you do?
`pprof --text sbmpart sbmpart_prof.out`
where `sbmpart` is the binary executable and `sbmpart_prof.out` is the profile output when the `sbmpart` binary is generated with `-lprofiler` flag for google gperftools.

### If possible, provide a recipe for reproducing the error.
### Attaching a profile you are trying to analyze is good.
I did the following steps:
```
make debug
CPUPROFILE=sbmpart_prof.out ./sbmpart argv1 argv2 argv3
pprof --text sbmpart sbmpart_prof.out
```
Note that the pprof referred to in step 3 is not from gperftools (I first install gperftools and then remove its pprof and then use go pprof)

I am also attaching the makefile and the profile generated from gperftools.

[Makefile.txt](https://github.com/google/pprof/files/1732411/Makefile.txt)
[sbmpart_prof.txt](https://github.com/google/pprof/files/1732395/sbmpart_prof.txt)

### What did you expect to see?
I expect to see the CPU profiling results for all the functions without any error.

### What did you see instead?
I see some errors. see below:
I have the below issues:
1. how to fix the unrecognized profile format
2. how to fix the unrecognized binary errors.

```
